Counseling Center

Welcome to the Utley Middle School Counseling Center!

Welcome to Utley! We are committed to creating a positive, proactive, and safe environment on our campus. Our goal as a school counselor is to counsel students to fully develop each student’s academic, college and career and social abilities. Counselors will participate in planning and implementing programs and be an advocate for all students to ensure that students acquire the attitudes, skills and acknowledge that are essential in the 21st century. We care about students, from the time they enter school through graduation and beyond.

We have resources, information and materials that would benefit students in the following areas.
